Bitcoin rose roughly 3% to reclaim $79,000 on Sept. 14 after US President Donald Trump indicated that the conflict with Iran could be nearing an end. The recovery erased weekend losses and lifted BTC back above its 50-week exponential moving average (EMA) at $77,430, a technical level watched for signs of a renewed uptrend. Oil briefly declined following Trump's comments but remained elevated, while US equities reversed an early gain. Markets have meanwhile priced a 92.7% probability of a 25-basis-point Federal Reserve rate increase to 3.75-4% on Sept. 17, according to CME Group's FedWatch Tool. QCP Capital said sustained energy costs could raise inflation expectations and constrain the Fed's scope to pause monetary tightening.
